We are Elyrean, a Melodic/Technical Thrash Metal band in search of a Lead Guitarist to complete our line-up. The potential guitarist would preferably be between 18-25, has their own gear (Leads, Amps, Pedals etc.) and also has a way to travel to the practise location. We practise once every weekend on a Saturday (but can be changed to Sunday) at our drummer's house, based in Rawnsley (which is just outside of Cannock). HOWEVER, if NECESSARY, we will be willing to pick up the member from their house or nearest convenient location.
The skill-set of the guitarist should be that of a capable level. You should be able to pull of some intense lead parts at fast speeds seeming as our songs require techniques such as Shredding, Sweep-Picking, String-Skipping, etc, for this is what we need. We have a DEMO song released for anyone interested to listen to. This is the fastest song on the E.P and is also the Title-track. It is fairly rough and has few vocals but gives you an idea of what we play instrumentally. HERE IS THE LINK IF YOU'RE INTERESTED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwjiMl2ba5w
So far, we have wrote most of the tracks for our debut E.P, which have also been demoed out to give an idea of what kind of sound we are going for. We’ve also finished writing our debut single which will be recorded once our line up is complete. What we offer to the potential future member is a chance to play demanding yet unique music to as many people as possible whilst helping the musician improve their skill-set in both writing and playing whilst they also do the same for the other members. Our EP's and LP's are always story driven however we are always open to input, both musically and thematically, from the other members to help create the best musical experience possible.
OUR INFLUENCES:
Sylosis, Death, Revocation, Vektor, Testament, Crowbar, Exodus, Bloodshot Dawn, Insomnium, At The Gates, Epica, Megadeth, Overkill, Death Angel, Xerath, Slayer, Lamb Of God, Gojira, Behemoth, Darkthrone, Burzum and so much more.
If you are interested then please feel free to respond via this website or E-Mail. We will then organise a day to 'audition' so that we can get to know each other, both in terms of writing/playing style and also as a person. This way then we can decide if you are the right fit and you can decide if this is what you want to do. IT IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE THAT YOU KEEP IN CONTACT WITH THE BAND AS COMMUNICATION IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT. We hope to make everything as comfortable as possible for you and that we become good friends. Thank you for reading and we hope to hear from you soon!
